“We’re excited, and we still have half a program we haven’t seen yet” says Brad Rourke, President and CEO of Scottie Resources Corp. (TSX.V: SCOT | OTCQB: SCTSF) as they report new assays on its Blueberry Contact Zone including intercepts of 9.79 g/t gold over 25 meters, 161 g/t gold over 1.3 meters, and extending mineralization to a total vertical depth of 390 meters.

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 10, 2022Scottie Resources Corp. (“Scottie” or the “Company“) (TSXV: SCOT) (OTCQB: SCTSF) (FSE:SR8) is pleased to report new assays on its Blueberry Contact Zone including intercepts of 9.79 g/t gold over 25.00 metres including 161 g/t gold over 1.3 metres. Additional deeper tests of the Blueberry Contact Zone have extended mineralization to a total vertical depth of 390 metres. The Blueberry Contact Zone is located 2 kilometres north-northeast of the past-producing high-grade Scottie Gold Mine, 35 kilometres north of the town of Stewart, BC, along the Granduc Road. The Blueberry Contact Zone is 100% owned and royalty free.

President and CEO, Brad Rourke: “Results from Blueberry continue to support continuity of gold mineralization along more than 1.45 kilometres, and now to a depth of 390 metres, which remains open along strike and at depth. The success ratio of drilling the Blueberry Contact Zone thus far has been remarkable, the more that we drill the more compelling the target becomes.”

About the Blueberry Contact Zone

The Blueberry Zone is located just 2 kilometres northeast of the 100% owned, past-producing Scottie Gold Mine located in British Columbia, Canada’s Golden Triangle region. Historic trenching and channel sampling of the Blueberry Vein include results of 103.94 g/t gold over 1.43 metres, and 203.75 g/t gold over 1.90 metres. Despite high-grade surficial samples and easy road access, the Blueberry Vein had only limited reported drilling prior to the Company’s exploration work. The target was significantly advanced during Scottie’s 2019 drill program when an interval grading 7.44 g/t gold over 34.78 metres was intersected in a new splay off zone of the main Blueberry Vein. The drill results received in 2020 and 2021, coupled with surficial mapping and sampling suggest that this splay is in fact a major N-S mineralized structure, of which the Blueberry Vein was only a secondary structure. This zone is much wider than pursued in previous exploration models and drilling in 2021 expanded its strike length to 720 metres and its depth to 225 metres. The zone is steeply dipping, and there is no current restraint on its potential depth; the mineralization at the adjacent Scottie Gold Mine has a vertical extent greater than 450 metres. The Blueberry Zone is located on the Granduc Road, 20 kilometres north of the Ascot Resources’ Premier Project, which is in the process of refurbishing their mill. Newcrest’s Brucejack Mine is located 25 kilometres to the north.

Thomas Mumford, Ph.D., P.Geo and VP Exploration of Scottie, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical information contained in this news release on behalf of the Company.

Quality Assurance and Control

Results from samples taken during the 2022 field season were analyzed at SGS Minerals in Burnaby, BC. The sampling program was undertaken under the direction of Dr. Thomas Mumford. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic absorption spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+9 g/t Au). Analysis by four acid digestion with multi-element ICP-AES analysis was conducted on all samples with silver and base metal over-limits being re-analyzed by emission spectrometry.
